4D Summit 2002 Photos

Here is a sampling of photos from the 4D Summit in Vancouver, October 7 - 11, 2002. Click on any photo to see a larger version.

First, let me present the many moods of Vancouver, as seen from my hotel room:

   

And now, on to the 4D Summit:

	It was Day 3 of the Summit before I realized that I didn't just have to photograph scenery or royalty. So, I got a shot of Brendan looking quite fabulous after recently getting in shape.
	But, enough about the conference. Wednesday's "Evening with 4D" outing involved a beautiful Vancouver Harbour cruise, with dinner, drinks and complimentary gambling. Here is Ken counting up his roulette winnings.
	Brrr! It's cold and windy abovedecks! Tom (right) wishes I had loaned him my Aqua Net All-Weather Extra Super Hold hairspray, while Christian wishes I knew how to use the red-eye reduction feature in PaintShop Pro.
	On the top deck, Alexander (second from right) shares one of his many opinions, while various 4D-Pub members listen in. Everyone gets along just fine when the beverages are real instead of virtual.
	My homies Chris, Mike, Scott, Lee and Jeff strike their baddest 4D developer poses for me.
	Diana is one of my new fave pals from the Summit. Thanks go out to SV for introducing us!
	4D passed out attractive blue earrings as souvenirs, which are modeled here by Love-And-Kisses-Man, Lo. These multi-purpose earrings (also known as carabiners), featured a clock and compass, which would have come in handy earlier in the week when it was foggy and I had no idea where north was.
	John tries to look innocent even though many witnesses testified that he was the one throwing ice cubes at me.
	After the cruise, in the first bar we closed down Wednesday evening, Doug and Scott listen to 4D-Pub regular Steve share his opinions in person.
	Here we have proof that Mike is the best looking 4D developer. Or maybe it's just the beer goggle filter I used on my camera.
	On Thursday, we had lovely weather, so a stroll around the convention center was in order. Here's a fine Canadian bird, with North Vancouver in the distance.
	Sunshine makes for good smoking weather, too. Here, photographer Jeff catches me trying to talk Steven (left) into revealing the inspiration behind his component-naming scheme. Michael and Alex anxiously await the answer as well.
	Just before the wrap up session, Brendan and Mike confer on what additional tricks they have up their sleeves.
	Doug and Dan are prepared to rush the microphone with their questions during the Q&A session.
	On Friday morning, it was time to say goodbye to my new and old 4D pals. Here's one of the new ones: Pete from New Zealand. It was a great conference!
